Lotus Academy is a new school working within Nexus Multi–Academy Trust. This is a really exciting time for the school as we continue to improve, all areas of school are making progress and our new curriculum offer will enable our students to access the curriculum in a variety of ways.

Our pupils have a range of complex Social Emotional and Mental Health needs. They enjoy a safe, creative and stimulating school environment with a strong emphasis on nurture and forming strong relationships with staff and peers. Their Individual Support Plans are reflective of their Education Health and Care Plan (EHCP) outcomes, their risk assessments and the interventions that are required for a child to make progress in our school.

Lotus Academy staff share the same commitment to ensuring that all our children achieve their full potential and can support our school values of:

Empathy

Togetherness

Our school is committed to providing care and support to some of the most disadvantaged and vulnerable children in the city. You would need to be flexible and committed to working as part of a team.

This is an exciting opportunity to join an award winning Multi Academy Trust and be part of a welcoming and supportive team that serves amazing children and young people. Nexus Multi Academy Trust was founded in 2016, with 19 unique SEND and mainstream academies.

We are a growing, forward thinking and innovative Trust with a shared ethos, vision and values for a personalised child centred approach. We are committed and invested in “Learning together, to be the best we can be” and it is as relatable to every employee and partner of our Trust as it is to our children, young adults and their families.

We are looking to appoint an experienced and enthusiastic practitioner who has the skills and knowledge to fulfil an Intervention Lead role. We are looking for someone who has experience with special needs education, who has a real passion to support and enable the learning and development of the children in our Academy. The position will appeal to experienced SEND practitioners and individuals who have other skills to offer, such as people who have supported with engaging pupils and young people in education or alternative learning experiences.

This role is about co-ordinating targeted interventions for our pupils as part of the Graduated Response. This will involve analysis of areas of need for each pupil and providing appropriate and high-quality interventions in order to support their progress. This role will also involve co-ordinating the intervention team and timetabling staff to provide different interventions.

You will be supporting learners with their personal and social development through a holistic approach and will be a core part of the work involved in supporting pupils to be successful and make progress. You will have the ability build strong trusting relationships with both pupils and staff. You will be highly organised and able to manage and coordinate a small team.

Whether you are an experienced teaching assistant who has worked within specialist educational needs or someone who has a real drive to make a difference in children’s lives, you must be able to provide our children with aspirations for their futures along with promoting a positive culture in everything you do.
